we get to play once a week. it's going to take work. we'll get there eventually. there are other olympics coming up. >> every sport has a different level of competition. what is the difference between someone who is just on the brink of qualifying and then people who do qualify? would a lay person be able to tell the difference in terms of how that person performs? >> a lay person might because you see someone making more shots than someone who just started. everyone started the same way. come out the first time. throw the first stone and you practice and learn and you keep playing and try to get better and hopefully you make it up to that if that's what you want to get to that level. >> reporter: one thing you haven't seen since we're in an off olympic year is a drop in membership. you have actually maintained. >> that's true. in olympic cycles with crazy winter sports that everyone only sees once every four years, you have your olympic peak and then a valley for the next four years while membership drops off. somehow curling popularity went crazy in the last few years. the bay area it's become so popular that we're selling out

just last summer. the most recent inspection reveals four violations but remember he wouldn't show us that report. but even denny's has to follow the law. our investigation found many restaurants violating. >> reporter: is this acceptable? >> it is not. >> reporter: we followed up with denny's who sent thus statement. the policy is to provide the most recent health inspection report upon request as and mated by state law. we're reminding all restaurants in california of this policy. coming up tonight, watch as we go undercover as more restaurants in silicon valley where some employees told us to leave and others didn't share the truth. we'll also show you other ways to get inspection information

within their jurisdiction even though pot clubs are legal at the state level. "today in the bay's" christie smith joins us live at the court building in san francisco with more on the story. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. medical marijuana advocates up and down the state are w5atchin this one closely. many feel if the state decides in favor of local government it would undermine the will of california voters who approved medical marijuana way back in 1996. more and more bay area cities seem to be limiting pot clubs or trying to ban them all together. about three dozen bay area cities are doing this. now today the state supreme court will decide whether cities can legally restrict them or not. san jose city councilman says he supports limiting the number of dispensaries but wants city to have the final say. >> it's disconcerting if the state rules that cities don't have the ability to control when and how and where dispensaries

operate. that's very important for a lot of communities because we know there are a lot of impacts of dispensaries. not all of them are good. >> reporter: right now about 200 cities and counties in california have some sort of ban in place. this case today actually comes out of riverside where the city used zoning powers to ban storefront marriaijuana shops. one sued the city to try to stop them from shutting them down. seven justices will hear this case this morning at 11:00. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." the san jose city council will take on the issue of marriage equality today. several council members are expected to request the council put a resolution supporting marriage equality on a future agenda. they also call on the city to join a case currently before the u.s. supreme court. that is aimed at overturning the defense of marriage act. they will not receive the mayor's support, however. in a recent interview, the mayor

boarding school, which has an emphasis on elite basketball training only last fall. most students are from overseas. on the school's facebook page, it says tuition is $10,000. $5,000 for boarding. he's adamant he'll be exonerated. >> if making sure they're doing school work and ensuring that they get great food and ensuring that they are safe and have a great place to live, if that's abusing kids, then i would say, yes, i did. i haven't abused any kids. >> he also says his accusers are the same students who recently learned they are being let go from the school. roseville police say three of the four are teens and he's facing child abuse charges including cruel corporate punishment and willful cruelty, battery and false imprisonment. police in roseville are expanding their search and believe there are more victims

welcome back. keeping your kids safe no matter what sport they play is a discussion taking place in washington. one of the first questions out of the box, what's the big focus of this meeting? >> the focus is 2 million injuries for young people every single year because teachers and parents and coaches and students themselves aren't always on the lookout for symptoms of these injuries so what this alliance wants to do for youth sports safety alliance working with national athletic trainers association have a student bill

of rights they're going to introduce today and the national plan for sports safety. they want to look at things like neurological injuries, concussions, head injuries, heart attacks, the environment, diet and substance abuse. all of this contributing to the 30,000 students being hospitalized every single year. one of the other things they want to look closely at are quality doctors available when students are hurt on the field or on the court. some states like california require students with possible concussions to be taken out and not put back in the game until there's a medical clearance. others don't. here on capitol hill they've been trying to come up with guidelines that all states can use but they have yet to do that. >> great study there hall of famer ronnie lott on yesterday and says he's for this. how many training is there for students and what to look out for? >> that's a good question. one of the things they're trying to do here is to get students to recognize when they are injured. a lot of times these kids don't want to come out of the game and

sometimes they don't realize how badly hurt they are. there is a lot of push in these high school sports particularly and sometimes they mistake pain for injuries and trying to get them to distinguish between the two. >> great studies. great program here. tracie potts, thank you for that information. this week marking a one-year countdown. a big countdown to the start of the 2014 games in sochi, russia. >> one of the sports featured is curling.

a little surge. maybe what's more important to say they have not seen a dip since the last olympics since we're in between the olympics right now. they are definitely looking for members and maybe you are thinking i'm not going to make it to sochi in 2014 but i feel i can do it in 2018. maybe the bay area curling club is for you. it's called delivering a stone, right? >> it is delivering a stone. i have ten seconds. can you show me the best technique for delivering a stone. i'll give you the microphone. >> you will step into the hack. there you go. now step on the slider. it makes it like a curling shoe. crouch down. you got this for protection. you are then going to move back a little and then forward a little and kick with your right foot and come out in a lunge. >> reporter: ready. i'm going for that target down there. >> indeed. fire. let it go.
